Oh, I intend to :) It looks like it's going to be, umm, interesting. As
far as I can tell it will produce three packages (skunkweb,
libapache-mod-skunk, and skunkweb-doc). Something of an increase from my
current package xmahjongg...

I got an email from Jacob Smullyan (it also went to the skunk list)
where he mentioned that the config script had been split up.

In the meantime I'll put up any pre-upload packages onto
people.debian.org.

Cheers
